Wells Ranch Series by Bailey Hannah

Book 1, Alive and Wells

He’s worried she won’t stay. She’s worried she will.

City girl Cecily Kennedy never expected to step foot on a cattle ranch, but when her already strained marriage takes a violent turn, a kind friend offers her a job and refuge at Wells Ranch.

Ranch life is hard enough without her new boss, Austin Wells, sending mixed signals about whether he wants her or hates her. But Cecily can’t risk getting involved with her grumpy yet alluring employer—she has nowhere else to go, and getting over her ex by getting under Austin isn’t worth the potential fallout.

As far as Austin’s concerned, Cecily won’t be sticking around for long. He’s learned the hard way that nobody ever stays, and the indent on her ring finger makes him certain the sexy city gal is no exception.

But when Cecily’s troubled past threatens her safe haven, Austin realizes that somewhere between their trail rides and late night talks, she’s branded herself on his heart. He desperately wants her to stay, and whether or not she feels the same, he’ll be damned if he lets anyone or anything hurt her under his watch.

Book 2, Seeing Red

She lives by the rules. He lives to break them.

Cassidy Bowman has strict rules to uphold her good-girl reputation: she doesn’t date the Wells Ranch locals, and she definitely doesn’t sleep with men she isn’t dating. But after a run-in with her ex-boyfriend—and a few too many drinks—she’s ready to buck those rules and allow herself one night of recklessness.

On the other hand, local cowboy Chase “Red” Thompson has never met a rule he didn’t love breaking. With a long-time crush on Cassidy, he’s more than willing to accept her offer of a one-night stand and her one condition: he must agree to never speak of it again.

That is until two pink lines render Cassidy’s entire rule book null and void. Cassidy isn’t looking for a relationship with the rough-and-tumble cowboy, and Red doesn’t need anyone to tell him he’s not good enough for the sweetheart of Wells Canyon.

So the two make another agreement—they’ll be friends and co-parents, nothing more. But as their carefully constructed boundaries begin to blur, Cassidy might just realize that perhaps some rules are worth breaking.

Book 3, Change of Hart

She spent years trying to forget. He’ll do anything to make her remember.

Wells Canyon is the last place Blair Hart wants to be. Yet when her mother falls ill, she has no choice except to return to the hometown she’s avoided for over a decade. In a town so small, she knows there’s no way she can avoid the cowboy who tore her life to pieces all those years ago, but that doesn’t mean she’s prepared for the way Denver Wells can turn back time with a single smile.

Since Denver’s world came crashing down thirteen years ago, he’s somehow managed to keep his demons at bay…that is, until Blair Hart’s return knocks him from his saddle. But if he wants her back, he’ll have to prove he can be the man she needs—the same one she used to love.

Throwing herself into the role of caregiver, Blair doesn’t have the time to sift through their messy history even if she wanted to. And Denver’s going to need a lot more than his usual cowboy charm to convince Blair he’s worth a change of heart.
